Full of Grace

1. Watching Peachie play her last collegiate game.  It is amazing to me that I have watched our daughters play organized sports - from when they were 3 years old playing soccer (they would pick dandelions and bring them to me  in the middle of a game ) to having Beaner recruited to play basketball in college (and declining) and then Peachie signing to be an NCAA athlete.   I am very grateful to have these wonderfully talented, and, most importantly, healthy young women who taught me a lot about commitment and discipline, competition and leadership. I am also immensely grateful that for all the full body contact sports they have played they made it through without any lie changing injuries.  

2. The kitchen demolition is complete.  We have now added updated electrical and insulation, replaced the rotting sub floor and begun to clean the dust that has gotten into every nook and cranny of the house.  Next up - wallboard.  

3. And then these cabinets arrived. (OMG, what were we thinking???)

4. Beaner and her boyfriend invited us to his apartment for a delicious meal.  It was the first time in weeks that we got to sit at a table to eat.  Lovely.

5. A wonderful, edible surprise package from the west coast.  So grateful to be thought of by friends, seen and unseen.
